I have settled back home after being out on the road for 2 weeks. It’s great to be back home sleeping in my bed and waking up at a decent hour, but I kind of miss being out doing events and meeting people. So, I thought I would share some highlights from a few cities [...]
It was so amazing to be on the Today Show yesterday. The day started when the town car picked up me, my mom, and Grant and drove us down to Rockefeller Center. After getting settled in the greenroom (Grant was even more nervous than I was!) the producer took me down to get my makeup [...]

First things first…remember that tomorrow I’m going on the Today Show! I’ll be on around 9:00am so don’t forget to watch. I’ll post the video tomorrow after it goes on the Today Show website. I’m so stoked. (Don’t you love the word “stoked”? I think I’m going to try and resurrect it in pop culture…) [...]

Last week I went on CBS News "Up to the Minute" to talk about teen/parent relationships. (What else?)I was on with host Meg Oliver, who is really cool and about to have her first baby. But seriously, you can’t even tell. She was about to pop and when you see the segment she looks totally [...]
Yes, it’s true. Yours truly is going to appear on the Today Show (yay!!) the morning of April 25th (Mark your calendars!) to talk about How to Raise Your Parents: A Teen Girl’s Survival Guide. How cool is that?! I’ll be on during the 9:00am hour and if I do say so myself, watching the [...]

My parents came to visit me and my husband in New York a few months ago (they hadn’t come to see us in THREE YEARS and I told them if they didn’t come by March 1, 2008, they were officially disowned. They booked plane tickets like the next day–they could tell I was serious). Anyway, [...]

I had my very first ever TV appearance on Wednesday and it’s up online for the world to see. New York 1 News (a local New York City channel) had me on to talk about my book and how to bridge the gap between teens and parents. They let me pick the topics, so I [...]
Everyone’s been talking about Britney’s guest appearance on “How I Met Your Mother” last night. She wasn’t drunk or drugged out of her mind? She didn’t flash her panties (or lack thereof) or shave her head on the spot? Doesn’t anybody remember what Britney was like before we all turned her into a desperately-need-to-be-loved, no-attention-is-bad-attention [...]
Have you seen the new CBS commercial to promote the new seasons of all their upcoming TV dramas – like CSI, Cold Case, Without a Trace, The Ghost Whisperer? (I admit it: I saw it while watching all the college basketball games.) Anyway, it shows clips of all the actors hanging out and having a [...]
I am addicted to the HBO show The Wire. I started watching it on Netflix and still have the entire final season (season 5) to go, but I think it’s the single best TV show I’ve ever watched. (Time magazine thinks so too.) This isn’t my normal style of TV entertainment. It’s really gritty and [...]
